LUBRICATING- ATTD GLEANING- OIL.

No Drawing.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JULIUS E. STRATER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certainnew and useful Improvements in Lubricating and Cleaning Oils, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to oils for lubricating and cleaning metal working or sliding parts; andit consists of a combination of ingredients as hereinafter fully described and claimed which render it specially adapted for use in connection with the springs of motor cars and other vehicles, and for other slmilar purposes.

In carrying out this invention the following ingredients are mixed together:

50 gallons of turpentine,

50 gallons of lubricating oil,

50 gallons of creosote oil,

5 pounds of ether, and

28 pounds of powdered graphite.

The turpentine used is in the form of the pure gum spirits of turpentine, but it may have gasolene added to or included with it.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Feb. 22, 1921. Application filed. November 12, 1919. Serial No. 337,400. x

The lubricating oil is any ood oil con1- monly used for engines or s aft bearings. The creosote is a cheap grade of creosote oil as used for making paints, and refined creosote is not necessary.

When this oil is applied to the leaf springs it penetrates between them, and the leaves do not have to be spread apart to admit it. It makes the leaves slide easily on each other, cleans out dirt, and prevents noise and the formation of rust. It is also useful to .uSe on (rusty bolts and other parts which are hard to separate.

The exact amount of each ingredient may be varied slightly, provided the amount is substantially that hereinbefore stated.

What I claim is:

A lubricating and cleaning oil, comprising substantially 50 gallons of turpentine, 50 gallons of lubricating oil, 50 gallons of creosote oil, 5 pounds of ether, and 28 pounds of powdered graphite.

'In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature.

JULIUS EDWARD STRATER.
